Incorporating A 3D Urban Environment Model Between Government And Local Architectural Firms

The purpose of this paper is to study how to incorporate current modeling data with design under constraints of current computational capability and applied software and hardware of local architecture firms. The study is made to facilitate the review of newly designed buildings and evaluating their possible impact on the surrounding environment. Concerns regarding the operation of government's departments and local architectural firms, the design and application of 3D urban environment model (3DUEM), and visual representation are also discussed. This paper concluded that a 3D computer model for evaluation will fundamentally change the design data and process an ordinary architecture firm performs. Similarly, 3DUEM may change traditional design approach, for example, from 3D models to 2D drafting data and from the concern of the scale of urban environment to the design of a building.
